62 30... General notes on the Head Up Display

NOTE: A special windscreen must be fitted to ensure that the Head Up Display image can be projected correctly.

This windscreen comprises three sections. An outer and an inner glass pane are connected by a wedge-shaped plastic film.

The wedge shape prevents double projection of the Head Up Display.

When the windscreen is replaced, the vehicle identification number and parts catalogue must be consulted to ascertain whether the windscreen in question is suitable for Head Up Display.

Example of the display with a conventional windscreen:

With a conventional windscreen, the projected image is reflected on the inner and outer glass pane, producing a double image.
